Looks like “Cyber Monday”, a term coined to the busiest online shopping day of the year, seems to be a fairly big bust. I’m looking for a new laptop and can’t find a deal anywhere. We almost went shopping at 5AM to bestbuy on “Black Friday” to get a $250 laptop, and a $999 HDTV, but decided to pass because we had to go shopping at 5AM to get it.

I have done the black friday thing before…2 years ago in Fresno, we hit the stores at around 6AM. I grabbed a bunch of computer products, and got into what looked like a long line, but not intolerable. After about 30 minutes in line, we realized that the line actually made 2 loops around the store. It was unbelievable. After an hour we just decided to part with our items and give up.

I found out that the *New* busiest shopping day of the year is the saturday before Xmas, but again, this is just a marketing ploy to get you into the stores and spend, just like Cyber Monday 

So, if you know of a good online sales happing today, or before Xmas, let us know. I missed the $100 Xbox 360’s at amazon, only 1000 were available and sold out in 29 seconds.

Makes me think of a good time for a real estate sales day…hmmm…what would it be called and when would it be?

When?
first day of spring? New Years Day?

Name?
Crash Tuesday?
Free Home Monday?
Buy 3 rooms, get the 4th free Friday?
